	Sweet Mother, is there a spiritual being in everybody?
	In children the psychic is always in the front, isn't it?
	Can a child become conscious of this inner truth like an adult?
	If the inner truth, the divine presence in the psychic is so conscious in the child, it could no longer be said that a child is a little animal, could it?
	Mother, here Sri Aurobindo speaks of "the psychic behind supporting all". What does this mean?
	Sweet Mother, with the human mind is it possible to recognise another person's soul?

What is meant in the terminology of the yoga by the psychic is the soul element in the nature, the pure psyche or divine nucleus which stands behind mind, life and body (it is not the ego) but of which we are only dimly aware. It is a portion of the Divine and permanent from life to life, taking the experience of life through its outer instruments. As this experience grows it manifests a developing psychic personality which insisting always on the good, true and, beautiful, finally becomes ready and strong enough to turn the nature towards the Divine. It can then come entirely forward, breaking through the mental, vital and physical screen, govern the instincts and transform the nature. Nature no longer imposes itself on the soul, but the soul, the Purusha, imposes its dictates on the nature.
